On- tario Riding has announced Answers From The Library Question: Who invented the jigsaw puzzle'. B. K. Answer: John Sptlsbury. owner of an English printshop during the 1760's. created "dissected maps" to help children learn geography. These toys were made of wood and cut into pieces, one puzzle at a time. Therefore. they were expen- sive. but the idea was popular and many other sujects were made into puzzles. These learning tools covered many topics, including morals and history. The invention of the die press in the 1890's increased the production of puzzles and reduced their cost. Many card- board puzzles could be stamped out by a press at one time. Thus, the worldwide demand for jigsaw puzzles was easier to meet. The Depression increased the puzzles popularity as a time -killing and also a family activity. At this time, wooden puzzles trade a comeback, particularly Par Puzzles. Created by Frank Ware and John Henriques, these one -of - a -kind puzzles were especially difficult. The overall shape was not a regular rectangle or circle, and some even had empty spaces in the middle. Each of these creations came with an estimated time limit for completion, thus giving them the name Par. The largest jigsaw puzzles was completed in Keene, NTH in September, 1965. It measures 84 feet 10 1 2 inches by 55 feet 21 2 inches. The puzzle with the most pieces had 61,75-2 parts. Its overall measurements were 10.6 feet by 19.3 feet. Question: What are the circles on a baseball diamond next to the first and third base lines'. They are not the on -deck circles. G. B. Answer: According to Yankee Stadium in Bronx. NY, these areas are called fungo circles. They are much closer to the base lines than the on -deck circles. or batter's boxes in which batters warm up. Fungo circles are used during practice, not during a game. Coaches stand in the fungo circles and hit ground balls to the in -fielders to sharpen their skills. Not all baseball fields have fungo, circles.

To Develop Student Skills Three new programs designed to prepare youth for skill- ed occupations have been announced by Skills Development Minister Alvin Curling. The Youth Skills Programs include the Ontario Tlrairteeship Program, High School Appren- ticeship6 and Summer Trades Experience for students. Mr. Curling explained that the new Youth Skills Pro- grams are part of the Ministry's over-all strategy to help develop skills. traiiru ng and work experience among young people. The new initiatives focus on skills, rather than on job creation. The new Youth Skills Programs were included in the government's recent Speech from the Throne and budget. They are added to the Skills Development Ministry's array at youth Pr'ogr'am. The Ontario Traineeship Program will offer new workers on-the-job and classroom training in skills to meet the demands of today's workplace. Training will last one or two years. The Ministry will consult with business grafts. unions and educators on the design and establishment of traineeships. It will also provide funding toward the direct orl-the-job training and in -school costs. High School Apprenticeships for senior high school students will allow them to attend school and work as ap- prentices at the same time. During the school year. eligible students will take regular high school courses while they train as apprentices. They will complete credits for an On- tario Secondary School Diploma and will gain expenence toward apprenticeship qualifications. The Summer Trades Experience Program, beginning in 1990, will give employers who train apprentices a $1,000 subsidy to hire high school students for trades -related sum- mer jobs. The Skills Development Ministry will spend up to $6.6 million on the development of these new programs in the first year. A study recently conducted by the Ministry, entitled, "Pathways" found that young people who do not attend university or college often have trouble getting the skills training they creed to succeed in the workplace. Other youth programs administered by the Ministry in- clude: Futures for employment -disadvantaged young peo- ple: Environment Youth Corps which provides experience and training in environmental -related activities; Start -Up which provides interest-free loans to young entrepreneurs, and the Summer Employment Program, which offers a and. of work experience and training in summer jobs in government.

Chief Election Officer Moves To Scarborough The office of the Chief Election Officer of Ontario will be relocated to Scar- borough this year, opening up a site in downtown Toronto for development of non-profit housing. The announcement was made on July 28th by Government Services Minister Richard Patten, on behalf of Chief Election Officer Warren Bailie and Housing Minister Chaviva Hosek. Mr. Badie's office will be moving to new facilities at 51 Rolark Dr. in Scar- botnugh, from the current site at 70 Lombard St., Toronto. Government offices at 70 Lombard will be demolish- ed to make way for con- struction of a 120 -unit residential complex previously announced under the Mimstry of Hous- ing's Homes Now Pro- gram. Accommodation will also be provided for 20 peo- ple requiring special needs support. The site will be developed by the Chur ch%Lombard Housing Cooperative Inc. part of 5,900 non-profit units allocated so far in the Metro Toronto area under the Homes Now Program. Mr. Patten said the relocation will accomplish two objectives. "7tle Chief Election Officer and his staff will have the benefit of new facilities, and much- needed housing will be created in the downtown core.'

CP Rail Fire Prevention Program CP Rail has begun a summer -king fire prevention pro- gram along its 14.9 kilometre (9.3 mile) corridor through Scarborough. Don Mills and East York. Starting with the McCowan Road end of the railway's ma- jor Ontario marshalling yard in Scarborough. workers are clearing brush to the ground and removing debris from the right -d -way. Much of the task is being done with portable power tools, but in wide, flat areas small bulldozers are being used to dear the ground of potentially flamtnabk vegetation and accumulated garbage. "The program is needed to reduce fire risks to an ab- solute minimum," said CP Rail's Toronto Division Superintendent R.J. Bell. It will continue for about three months, or until the crew reaches the Leaside rail ju nctm near the Bayview Avenue underpass. plus back interest plus all legal costs. This decision was appealed by MTRCA which argued it should only have to pay $4.1 million. This is what Torvalley paid for the land in 1985. When MTRCA appealed the OMB decision, Tor - valley asked for more money. The conservation authority has decided to try to appeal the court decision to the Ontario Court of Ap- peal. p- I Metro politicians are not very happy about the high cost of acquiring this land which the conservation authority says should be in public ownership because of flooding problems both on the site and in the Don Valley. Some are going as far as suggesting that parts of the site be sold off for private development. Metro chairman Alan Tonks says the cosi is very high and Metro should try to recoup some of the $19 million. He said develop- ment is possible as long as the geologically significant north slope is preserved. With legal fees, court costs and two years worth of back interest, the real cost of the land is over S22 million. East York mayor Dave Johnson said Metro just does not have the money to develop the site because of more urgent demands on its money such as roads, sewers and social services.

Around and About Your Dining &Entertainment Guide Ordinary Lives by Carol Adams (Virago) attracted us with its sub title A Hun- dred Years Ago. Our late father would have been a hundred in this year 1989 and the coincidence of the event with the arrival of the book seemed in some way auspicious. Well, the book was ac- tually written in 1962 and this is an updated version though no less interesting we re sure. It is a description in words and pictures of the lives lived a century ago. In textbook fashion -it is a de factor textbook -are described working condi- tions, wages, how people lived, social snores and the like. What this reader found particularly disturbing was the lack of hygiene among the middle and lower classes as made manifest in many of the The book is not a shocker but it most certainly makes one grateful for the physical amenities one takes for granted in moy. on book suffers however, and in our op- nion, through its presenta- tion. Virago is an English publiShlllg house specializ- ing in issues of interest to women. One hesitates to say it is militant in its thrust but the feel of outrage is never far below the surface. Anyway, Ordinary Lives are lives as lived in Britain a century ago and, while in- t. not perhaps rele- vant to North American readers other than those with a bent for com- parative analyses. As well, it concerns itself mostly with the plight of "1989 — 1990 SEASON" On Golden Pond Sept.21 st - Oct.7th, 89 b, Ernest Thompson.

We have only the faintest of memories of our father but we do recall vivid descriptions of the hard- ships of his childhood. Miss Admas has weaken- ed the impact of Ordinary Lives by using it as a stump for the cause of feminine militancy. No fair person can object to her cause but an un- suspecting reader should not be exposed to it when opening a volume that pur- ports to tell of all people not simply Miss Adams favoured gender. And one thing that seems to have been overlooked is that the reforms that have been made have been largely due to the efforts of the well to do sharing their largesse with the less for- tunate.

There was a man who wrote and sang with literacy and apparent feel- ing about the issues of the day. There are many who suggest that he took his own life not because of career decline but because of remorse over what he felt to be his failure at redressing the very real in- justices he saw and ex- perienced.
